    The 39th of 108 Gates Of Dharma Illumination

    Gate Thirty-nine
    Read the following, place it in your heart and sleep on it. Then, tomorrow, live it until evening when you can leave a brief comment on what you may have received during the process.

    Not to quarrel is a gate of Dharma illumination; for it stops angry accusations.

    By “Dharma Gate”, We mean a teaching or practice that can lead to spiritual growth: some kind of positive outcome in terms of our practice. A way to approach the truth.

    Koan:
    What relationship do non-attachment and quarelling have with each other??

    Most note worthy replies :
    To find purity of interaction
    You must not let the pot boil over
    Cool it, quickly, and become still!

    Anger is hungry
    Feed it not
    And love takes its place

        I am a novice priest-in-training. Anything that I say must not be considered as teaching
        and should be taken with a 'grain of salt'.

              A quarrel results from stubbornly clinging to a viewpoint that we feel the need to defend. Better to rest in the dont-know mind, where there is nothing to defend and nothing to affirm.
